Insights
The announcement by One Stop Systems, Inc. (OSS) signifies a strategic advancement into high-priority defense applications, particularly within the U.S. intelligence community. The integration of liquid immersion-cooled data storage systems into deployable ground stations represents a shift towards more efficient and ruggedized computing solutions suitable for the challenging conditions found in field operations. The technology's ability to deliver high-speed, low-latency performance is critical for intelligence tasks, where rapid data processing and analysis are paramount.
The use of Gen 4 PCIe® 3U-SDS configured as an NVMe data recording system indicates a commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to meet the demanding requirements of defense applications. This could have a significant impact on OSS's market share within the defense sector, potentially leading to increased revenue and market presence. The capability to record and store vast amounts of raw RF data securely is a substantial technical achievement and aligns with the current trend towards data-intensive operations in modern warfare.
From a financial perspective, the pilot project with a potential for follow-on production orders could serve as a catalyst for OSS's revenue growth. The collaboration with a global defense prime contractor not only validates OSS's technological capabilities but also opens up avenues for future contracts within the defense industry. Furthermore, the diversification into liquid immersion-cooled systems could offer OSS a competitive edge, potentially increasing its appeal to investors looking for companies with innovative solutions in high-performance computing.
It is also noteworthy that this project could lead to a recurring revenue model, as governmental agencies often require ongoing support, upgrades and expansions for their technological systems. The initial design win could therefore be indicative of long-term financial benefits for OSS, assuming successful implementation and operation of the system.
The market for rugged high-performance compute solutions is expanding, particularly at the 'edge' where operations are decentralized and require robust systems that can operate in extreme conditions. OSS's entry into this space, with a focus on liquid immersion-cooled technology, addresses a specific need for high-throughput and ruggedized storage capabilities. The absence of heat sinks, a feature of the immersion-cooled technology, allows for more compact and efficient designs, which is a significant advantage in mobile ground station applications.
As defense and intelligence agencies increasingly adopt AI/ML technologies, the demand for specialized compute and storage solutions like those provided by OSS is likely to grow. This trend is supported by the ongoing push for modernization within the defense sector, which is seeking out advanced technologies to maintain a strategic edge. OSS's ability to deliver these solutions could position them as a key player in this niche market.
ESCONDIDO, Calif., March 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One Stop Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: OSS), a leader in rugged high-performance compute (HPC) for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and sensor processing at the edge, has secured a pilot project to provide a liquid immersion-cooled data storage system for use on a deployable ground station. The project is expected to lead to follow-on production orders.
Procured through a global defense prime contractor, the win represents the first liquid immersion-cooled high-performance compute solution for a U.S. intelligence agency mobile ground station application and a new intelligence community end user for OSS.
The deployment will leverage OSS' unique rugged mobile edge technology, consisting of the company’s Gen 4 PCIe® 3U-SDS configured as a high-speed NVMe data recording system that can deliver up to 52GB/s sustained storage bandwidth.
OSS will integrate two 3U-SDS units into a liquid immersion-cooled system which will be a part of a deployable ground station at the edge. The custom storage accelerator system will be ruggedized for the harshest of edge environments.
“This project, for a major government intelligence agency contracted through a prime contractor partner, represents expansion of our mission applications into the intelligence community, consistent with our growth strategies,” commented OSS VP of sales, Robert Kalebaugh. “It also demonstrates our commitment to provide high throughput, ruggedized storage capabilities and solutions that are directly impacting the AI/ML mission objectives of emerging Department of Defense platforms. We anticipate that this initial design win will lead to other deployments that require high speed, low latency compute accelerators and data acquisition solutions.”
The immersion-cooled technology solutions utilize non-conductive, chemically inert, non-corrosive fluids. These liquids are similar to water and fully immerse products like the 3U-SDS, where the liquid’s boiling point properties remove the heat from the electronics efficiently without the use of large heat sinks, fans, or liquid pumps. The absence of heat sinks allows for very compact rugged platforms and helps provide high performance, and low noise, in small form factors, which are key product features for the edge.
The 3U-SDS system is powered by two Intel processors and 16 NVMe storage drives—an ideal configuration for high-speed data acquisition, recording and analysis. It is capable of ingesting, recording and storing up to 960 terabytes of raw RF data signals onto high-speed NVMe SSDs.
The NVMe SSDs are securely encased in removable, encrypted drive packs to enable easily expandable and transportable data storage. For uploading massive amounts of collected data to the secure cloud, the drive packs can be easily transferred to SDS servers or Centauri storage expansion systems installed in ground stations equipped with high-bandwidth Internet connections.
This latest win follows the company’s recently announced direct to chip liquid cooled solution for a foreign navy submarine application expanding OSS’ market leading cooling solution approaches for rugged high performance computing at the edge.
The OSS SDS storage system is also available for commercial and industrial use and can be ordered directly from OSS sales engineers at sales@onestopsystems.com or +1 (877) 438-2724.
